August 5, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Explore the possibilities of Route #38! Join Getting to Green on a captivating journey through the Centennial District, accompanied by the knowledgeable urban forager, Lady Danni. Hop aboard the #38 bus to travel from Center City, through West Philly to Parkside Ave and learn about the hidden plants beneath our feet and along the scenic pathways of this peaceful area.
We will walk together to explore the district’s diverse plant life and learn about the fascinating array of sights and activities to explore. Highlights of the excursion include visits to Concourse and Centennial Lake, the Please Touch Museum, Kelly Pool, and the Japanese Shofuso House. If you’re unfamiliar with this area or looking to dive deeper into the trails and pathways you can explore, join us on the bus and don’t miss out on this informative and inspiring green adventure!
Lady Danni (she/her/crone) is a good lady forager, and crafter of herbals helping people reconnect with the healing power of nature. She explores the edible and medicinal qualities of the “plants formerly known as weeds.” Learn more about her at https://www.landedgentress.com/
